Polished transcript:

Male Female

I would like to share about the time when I graduated from university. At that time, I had two options to follow. First, I could start working in a bank, which I had learned about in university. The second option was to pursue further education and obtain a master's degree or a second certificate. During this time, I was quite confused about my path because when I started learning in banking and finance, I felt uncertain. This option was influenced by my family. However, in my second year, I began working at a center and started to understand what I wanted to be in the future. So when I graduated from university, I chose the second path. After about a month, I decided to pursue the second certificate, which was in English, and it provided me with valuable experience. If you want to learn or follow something, you have to decide on the path you will take and ensure that you commit to it, ultimately achieving success in the direction you choose.
